Arlington To Unveil Final Bus Priority Pilot Design In September

ARLINGTON, MA – Planning officials in Arlington last week presented the design options for the bus priority pilot, which is scheduled to begin in October. The proposed designs were developed in coordination with the city of Cambridge, the MBTA and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, with support from ITDP and Stantec.

The pilot will occur on Massachusetts Avenue from Lake Street to Alewife Brook Parkway for eastbound bus routes 77, 79 and 350 from 6-9 a.m. The final design option will be announced in September.

Last week's meeting broke the pilot down into three sections:

Massachusetts Avenue at Lake Street

Massachusetts Avenue from Lake Street to Alewife Brook Parkway

Massachusetts Avenue at Alewife Brook Parkway

See below for how VHB, the town's consultant, evaluated each option:
